Reminds me of the time Nintendo reported a Pokemon fan artist to authorities and they sent the japanese equivalent of a swat team, traumatising the young woman for life. Fuck the big N.

Reminds me of that time Nintendo sued emulator developers under the DMCA, bypassing the prior precedent of emulation legality and instead killing the project by forcing the contributors to settle, cease development, and hand over their IP rights.

Oh wait, that was last month. Double fuck the big N.
